I play this on the Ps3. But i have just recently started playing rfactor with a 1994 mod and its damn good.

But F1 2011 is a great game. nothing too demanding, just their for fun. Whole purpose of the xbox & ps3.

If anyone plays on Ps3 I'd be happy to have a race :)

I've got a PS3, but what I most play is GT5! I have no idea why I love this game so much. Does anyone play GT5 here?

I just changed to speed wheel and having some issues with controlling, appreciate if someone can help:

- I cant get the DRS work. Tried Y button but it doesn't seem to work (no DRS graphic to confirm).
- How do I request a pit stop?
- How do I get the KERS graphic on screen (I use cockpit view)?
- How to change to manual gear change?

Thanks

Configure your controls under Controls in the Options Menu. In F1 2011, you no longer request pit stops, unlike F1 2010. There are no graphics when in cockpit view. However you can see yourself push the KERS button, and when you press KERS, and the driver no longer does anything, you know you've run out. Just remember you have it for around 7 seconds.

Drs is a blinking green light. If the light is solidly green that's drs available, but closed. Blinking it's open. KERS, there's a meter that runs whenever you press KERS - to the display on the right of the gear number.

really? any examples?

from my exerience i felt it was pretty realistic.

I've felt there are corners flat out in life that are marginal in the game, but nothing that drastic. I actually like the twitchiness introduced in 2011.

Cant wait for 2012. but what else can they improve ?

I felt 2011 was easier than 2010. But i put that down to the handling of the cars was at times in 2010 a little bizarre.

I love the Co-Op game mode in 2011. Me and my brother enjoy this. maybe they could make the Co-op mode for more players, like 4 or 6 players. And have it continue instead of finishing after 1 season. It would be good if you and your team mate could go seperate ways and then become rivals at different teams.

Eau Rouge is a great example – in reality, it was thought that they would still be flat through it (in qualifying) with DRS open in the top cars. in F1 2011 it requires 5th gear with DRS closed... or possibly 6th gear if you've got your setup spot on.

Odd, I find in 2010, I can catch the car if I slide, in 2011 I don't stand a chance. That said, I agree that in 2010 it was indeed pretty odd at times.

The one thing they can certainly improve in 2012 is the graphics – they actually regressed from 2010 to 2011.
